We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of Chacabuco in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
